Carrier specific apps

Hi, I am on at&t and they block a lot of apps from the market such as PDA net. You can take your sim out then connect to wifi and search and it will be there. Any kinda mod u can download to get around this cause I can't always get to wifi. Btw I'm using cyanogen 6

1. You shouldn't need PDA net since CM 6 comes with a usb tether/wifi hotspot.
2. That being said, it doesn't mean you don't want it. Also, I will PM you what you should do as I can't discuss that in the open.
Thanks that helps

[Request][App] NFL Mobile

Now that the lockout is over and football is just a few weeks away; how difficult would it be to get the NFL app working on the A500?
I downloaded the apk from a thread on xda, but I couldn't get it to work...
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Don't think this will be an option. It's a Verizon only app and it verifies the phone is on their network before running. I tried to install it from my phone and it wouldn't work. Couldn't verify network.
The only Verizion exclusive app I can get to work on the tablet is the Indy Car app.

Thanks for the response! I had it working on my at&t samsung captivate last year. Although, it was wifi only (which I don't mind). There was a way to bypass the network check, but I can't remember how I did it...

I think this question started out as an A500 port idea then ended up saying it will work on this handset but not that - If you are trying to get the pp to work on your phone - use Market Enabler from the market to spoof your phone on Verizon - works for me here in Australia.
as for the A500 - we have to wait for someone to work out how to set locations another way?
Gotta find a way to fake a phone number for the tablet for the market enabler app to work, but it looks like it'd work if we could fake a phone number
Unless someone has a better idea

It's more than just a phone number. Verizon verifies you are a customer on their cellular network. With no way for the Iconia to connect to a cell network, no way for app to verify you are a Verizon customer. While you can use the NFL app with WIFI, it still verifies you are on the cell network.

I have the apk installed, but when I open it, it just says loading and then closes out... I tried the marketenabler.apk and changed it to Verizon and still no go :\
I hope we can get this working. It would be so badass

OK, I found a new apk and got it to load up. I accepted the license agreement and then it directed me do download a update in the market... this is when I didn't see a update button in the market.
Let me know if anyone wants the apk and I will post it from my comp later.

Update: I changed the build.prop and now the market shows the update button. But, I get a "request not found"

Heres the latest apk: http://www.MegaShare.com/3506031 Have it installed on my Evo 3D but of course i get the usual only for verizon users message. Hopefully someone can get this to work this season. Im more than willing to donate to whoever does.
I hate to bust everyone's bubble but Verizon has made streaming video a premium service this year that requires a monthly subscription to vcast video as well.
No streaming, but here's the official NFL application for tablets.

Hotspot

If I root my phone gs4, does that mean I can use hotspot for free? Or is free hotspot usually included in the rom?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
try searching
As W7 said. This is such and old question. Do yourself a favor and find the answer yourself.

Rooting your phone allows you to install software that you otherwise wouldn't be able to, due to carrier or device software limitations.
IF you root your phone, there are a large number of hotspot apps that you can install that will provide a hotspot for you. ROM's are usually just a collection of software (with the occasional performance tweak) that you can install. 99 times out of 100, ROM authors have merely borrowed someone else's hotspot app and packaged it in with the rest of the apps that they like. So no, you do not need to install a ROM just to install a hotspot app.
<Necessary Legalese> Keep in mind though, that if you cannot install a hotspot app and one was not provided on your phone, it's likely against the terms of service from your carrier. :angel:
I've done the searching and I realize this might be old, but I've been using hotspot with my gs4 for free and I don't have any hotspot apps. I'm running pacman but id like to play with other ROMs, just don't want to lose my free hotspot ability.

the vast majority of roms have wireless tether built in. if you find one that dosent then there are multiple apps to make the feature avaliable.

Enable tethering on LG G3 D850

Got this from the G2 thread so I take no credit. Just tried it out and it works 100% thought I'd share.
What you'll need:
Root
Root explorer (or something similar)
SQLite editor
1. Activate the hot spot initially in the user interface settings, once it rejects to turn on the hotspot.
2. In root explorer goto data>data>com.android.provider.settings>system>databases>settings.db>systen
3. Press search button then type tether
4. Tap on tether_entitlement_check_state goto the value and edit to 0. Save then reboot phone.
All done. Below is the original G2 thread so make sure to give thanks over there.

If you'd like to see all these steps with screen shots. Here's a site that provides nearly identical steps with nice pictures to guide you through

It also depends if sprint uses the hot spot provision apk (or whatever they might call it). If they do you can use xposed and x tether to get around it by freezing the provision apk with titanium back up and installing xposed frame work that the x tether module. Below is how they did it for the Galaxy S5.

It all depends on how they tether. If they use an app to verify tether then no but if it's a simple number value ran against their systems like how AT&T is then yes. If you have tibu I'd do a search in there for the word tether and see if they use an app to verify you

Hmm. There's an app called "com.lge.mobilehotspot.ui 1.0" so I'm guessing that's the verification app you spoke of.

No I don't believe that's it. I think thats part of your interface to turn hot spot on and off. Its an apk that you're looking for. They're usually have the name hotspot or tether in them.
I believe I saw a thread that was for Verizon models that tells you steps on how to do this hack

Well other than that app, there's nothing else that shows up in Titanium with the words tether or hotspot.

How can I fix Mobile Networks?

Hi my Mobile Networks settings are mess. It only show me the (Data Roaming, Network Mode and System Select) the option for entering the Access Point is no longer there I just want to know if there is a way to fix it. Any Help...
No way to fix it, it's locked down via Sprint. Older firmware revisions didn't have it locked. Believe me, I'd love to change mine as well so I could use Hangouts or some other txt msg app and send picture messages on wifi.
